Having planted our new
hedge we have to put up a new fence to keep the stock away from it. There is nothing sheep like more than a nice tender, green shoot of new hedge even if they're up to their oxters in grass!
The quad is one of the most versatile machines we have, and having loaded the trailer, I drove along and put out the posts in the line of the new fence.
We have a tractor-mounted fence post driver, which makes very short work of putting in posts.
With a 7' straining post driven down to about 4' at either end of the fence, I run a line of wire between them and having pulled it tight, I have a straight line to follow when hammering in the intermediates.
Within reason, it doesn't matter what angle the tractor is at because you can adjust the post driver to suit.
Nearly all in!
Included this because I quite like the photo. It also gives an idea of how the machine works, and when you consider that the hammer weighs 380kg it's not surprising that it will drive even the biggest posts with ease!
